Configuring Digest
Snooping and Rapid
Transition
Digest Snooping On a network comprised of devices of multiple vendors, 3Com switches cannot interoperate with switches that run proprietary spanning tree protocols in the same MSTP region, even if they are configured with the same MST
To address the problem, you can enable digest snooping on the ports connected to switches running proprietary spanning tree protocols.
Rapid Transition The proprietary spanning tree protocols of some vendors provide port state transition mechanisms similar to RSTP. For a switch running such a proprietary protocol, its rapid port state transition mechanism may fail on the designation port when the switch is downlinked to an
To address the problem, you can enable the rapid transition feature on the downstream 3Com switch.
